the woo&

eet and trap

by Wlvigbt PoMenbeqp Last week many Indian Hill juniors completed a field trip to the Indian Hill gun club. The mqjority of the students enjoyed the shooting but don't totalty understand the rules behind such shotgun games. First of all two such games exist: skeet and trap. Both games involve a shotgunner trying to hit clay pigeons, commonly called "birds". Why they are called "birds" I don't have the foggiest idea. Maybe someone once dressed one up with wings, legs, and a beak and tried to shoot it. Of the two games trap is the simpler one. Trap involves fwe linear stations from which the participant shoots. In front of these stations lies the house from which the clay pigeons fly. The clay pigeons fly one of three directions: left, right, or straight. There is no set pattern. It depends when the button is pushed to let the bird fly. Following the birds is the difficult part of trap shooting. The birds fly no set path so each shot requires quick reflexes. The shooter has no clue where the bird will go.

LENNON, from p. 3 was credited to both. This is why the song "Give Peace a Chance," which was actually recorded in a hotel room during a "bedh" in 1969, has McCartney's name on it, even though he had nothing to do with it. Both .artists' names being present on a release was not done to keep the actual writer a mystery, but to share the money equally between the two. For those who are interested, the lead vocalist is almost always the writer; the exceptions occur with the songs written by John and Paul, but sung by Ringo, "I Wannabe your Man.'' In conclusion, the article was poorly written and inadequately researched, for the future plans of Yoko and Sean were not even mentioned, nor is the recent release of "The John Lennon Collection" by Geffen Records, which contains remixes of some Plastic Ono Band songs. There is also some tape of new Lennon material that has yet to be released; no mention was made to it's future. The article was simply a cursory and inaccurate summary of Lemon's life.

provide games tor shooters Trap shooting consists of fwe shots from each of the five stations so twenty-fwe shots are taken in all. One point is awarded for each hit bird, so a score of twenty-fwe is a perfect score. The more popular of the shotgun games is skeet. In skeet the birds follow a set path from either of the two houses while the hunter changes position. There is a low house and a high house. From the high house the birds come out higher so the shooter must aim higher. Birds from the lower house fly closer to the ground. The two houses face each other, but each one throws birds to the side of the other house. In skeet there are eight stations. Seven of them lie in a semicircle with a house on each end: The last station lies between the two last houses. From each station a shooter

takes the f i shot out of the high houre and the second shot out of

the k w house. On the f i , second, sixth, and seventh stations, those closest to the houses, a participant shoots a double. A double is when two birds are released at the same time and the shooter hits both. It is not easy. Like trap a total of twentyfwe shots are fired and a point scored for each hit bird. The last two shots are fued from the station between houses. Of the two games skeet is tougher, because some shots need to be lead and followed with the gun more than others. At each station there is an approximation what to use as a lead. Indian Hill has both skeet and trap available at the Indian Hill gunclub. The club is a non-profit organization, but membership is required. If you would like to join please contact me.

WV, from p. 12 back to Camp Muir before the snow became slippery. At one point during the trip the teams had to cross a snowfield infamous for avalanches. The group then made the long trip to Yellowstone Pa&, the last maor hike in the expedition. At rust the group saw all the famous sights, but these were a disappointment, because, as Gay said later, "There were too many tourists, which ruined it." Then the group went into the unpopulated backcountry of Yellowstone, which was completely different and more interesting because of the lack of tourists. The last stop before going home was made at Jackson HoIe, the WV headquarters, where a big banquet was given to the returning groups. Besides having a good time, Gay feels that she got something out of the expedition. "You learn how to function in agroup. You have to work for the group and not for yourself. You also learn about feology, ecology, and the environment in general." Gay added, "I didn't know these places existed, and I didn't expect them to be so pretty." When asked if she would recommend the WV program to others, Gay responded strongly in the affmative. "Most people wouldn't think of doing anything like this. It's just a great exper-

ience." Greg went on the shorter, but just as vigorous, July Rocky Mont Mountain Expedition for the entire month of July, 1981. Unlike Gay, Greg had had some previous backpacking experience but he still found the trip to be a challenge. Greg first travelled to Jackson Hole, where he met the others in his group and received his supplies and instruction in their use. There were twenty-two participants and four counselors in his group. The expedition was divided into three main trips with short sto@ at places in between. The first major hike was in the Yellowstone Park backcountry. Like Gay, Greg was unimpressed by Old Faithful. "Lone Star Geyser (in the backcountry) was much better because it was secluded. It was on an old horse

trait." After six days in Yellowstone, Greg's group made a three or four day ride to Spanish Peaks National Forest in Montana. In the six days there, the group encountered more wildlife and did more rockclimbing. Greg had the strange experience of being caught in a thunderstorm while on top of mountain, within the thunderclouds. Apart from the tremendous amount of noise, Greg was amazed by the fact that "the weather shifted a lot faster than it

aoes here." The thunderstorm had come upon the froup where there had been sunny skies only about fifteen minutes earlier. For the next trip the group came back together (they had been in groups of six or seven during the fust parts of the expedition) for whitewater rafting down the Colorado River. They also did some rockclimbing alo?g the route. On this trip the participants could take "luxuries", like cans of pop, but they still always pitched tent in the wilderness. From the Colorado, Greg rode t o . Salt Lake City for the flight home. About the return home, Greg remarked, "It was strange coming back here after being at high altitudes." Greg got involved in the WV program because he was "just looking for something t o do that summer. It just caught my attention." When asked how he liked the expedition, Greg responded similarly to Gay: "It was great." Greg also felt he got some thing lasting form the program. "I made a whole bunch of new friends. It was the first time I had gone west; I learned a lot about different teoitories?' Greg had mixed feelings about recommending WV to others. "It wouldn't be for everybody. We had tough times. You always had to do your share for the group."

The high school Distributive Education Club is sponsoring its tenth annual Little World store at the Camargo Station during December. The project, which is operated by DECA students and their sponsor, Mr. James Benken, opened December 4 and will run through today. The store's hours are 3-8 p.m. on weekdays and 125p.m. on weekends. Little World is designed to give young shoppers a store where they are able to buy gifts for their parents. The price range runs from $.50 to $5.00. However, Benken states that 85% of the items are priced between $1.50 and $3.00. The gifts which the DECA students will be selling have either been denoted or purchased by DECA. Benken added that the items bought were on consignment, so DECA will be able to return any unused gifts. Besides its design for the youngsters, Little World also gives DECA students a place for on-thejob experience in the merchandising market. By working at L

Sugar' c -

by Ron Zesch Gus Gordon, Todd Cox, Cathy Fields, and David Kilday were chosen for the leading roles in

Little World the students have a chance to put into practice what they have learned in class. All juniors involved with DECA must work twelve and onehalf or more total hours at Little World. Their effort, states Benken, will be graded and will comprise twenty-five percent of their second quarter grade. Senior DECA students, because of their co-op programs, are encouraged to help only when possible. The responsiblities of the students involve not only working with money and merchandise but also with techniques of customer assistance. The young shopper, upon entering Little World, is helped by a student who determines the child's budget and then aids the shopper in choosing an appropriate gift. Other students then ring up the sale and gift wrap the item for the shopper. "Little World is good because children can get their Christmas shopping done," commented Junior DECA student Cliff Wingerter. Benken estimates the total gross sales to be between $2500 and $3000 over the two week per-

Sugar, the Pow Wow '83 musical scheduled for March 10, 11, and 12. Mr. Henry Henley, who is now

iod. Benken said he was encouraged by last weekend's results because "We were quite busy despite the rain and the Bengal's game." Benken also felt that the depressed economy would have little or no effect on this year's sales goals. "I though the eco-

nonly last year would have an effect on us. However. this year I don't think it will matter." The store location at Canlargo Station was donated to D1:CA by Mike Harris, proprietor of the Camargo Station. Along with the donation of space Harris also takes care of a l l utilities used. The 1000 square foot store also includes a waiting room for parents.

Thanksaivina feast illustrates Have you ever heard someone say, "I don't enjoy trimming the Christmas tree anymore; it's a pain"? Have you ever heard someone say, "I like Christmas, but as soon as it's over, everyone loses the holiday spirit"? The two thoughts do not seem t o go together well, but often they come from the same mouth. Many believe Christmas is a commercial or capitalist holiday and the true meaning is lost among gift giving, decorating, and caroling. People don't seem t o crave the true meaning in religious terms, or the exchange of gifts, but rather the "holiday spirit." Exactly what holiday spirit is is not hard t o define. It is something that comes from the individual. It may be a Christmas card, a telephone call, an invitation, or a sincere best wish - something as simple as that. The holiday spirit is a gift you can give and receive by offering the simplest of gestures. Christmas is still eight days away. You have the chance, so take it. Maybe the seasonal spirit lasts only a short time, but if you give just a little of yourself, the gift of spirit can last quite a while.

We would like to thank those souls who put themselves on the block for this year's Elf Auction. Through bids and change thrown on stage, we made $906, all of which will be donated to The Salvation Army, The Free Store, and The Neediest Kids of All. Last month's food drive was equally successful. We collected a little less than $400 which was donated to Oxfam and a large fraction of a ton of food which was given to the Free Store. Mr. Pfman's homeroom cashed in on the donuts, largely due to incentives he offered his classes.

We have submitted the results of our lunchroom survey to the administration and are waiting for action. The survey suggested a problem existed with long, slowmoving lunch lines. We have given the PTA a list of names of volunteers to work at Rendezvous. We will also act as a liason between the PTA and students. In conclusion, have a happy Chanakah, a Merry Christmas or just a nice vacation. Sincerely, Todd Cox & Richard Stradling

by John Bergman Well, it is that time of year again, the holiday season, during which mirth, merriment, and cheer have always reigned supreme in the emotional kingdom, and the most intolerable of circumstances have always become a bit more tolerable. It is also the time of year when reporters all over the country take out their annual renewal of skepticism. All those good tidings make them a little nervous, you know, after all love and generosity are not the stuff of which the six o'clock news is made. So they bring their finest pair of ultra high-powered binoculars out of storage, pack a knapsack full of exclamation points, just in case they need a few extra ones, and go off on a cross country quest to hunt down evil and bring it to the public eye. One can only watch so many of those "how can you be happy" stories, before he must confront the obvious question: "are things really this bad?" The best way to become acquainted with the argument in favor of this statement is once again to consult the nearest newspaper or watch almost any television news program. On a personal level, crime is rampant. We hear about it so much that we are almost callously indifferent to it. We hear also of poverty; absolute poverty that leaves families looking for some way to make enough money for that next meal! Then of course, as if that weren't bad enough, there are the national and international problems. There are approximately twelve million people unemployed. Inflation is making necessities as expensive as luxuries once were. The government can't afford to help the poor any more than it does. They have to worry about that far off villian called the U.S.S.R.

On top of all of this, a man threatened to blow up one of our nation's great monuments in the name of peace, and the United Nations can't even decide who discovered our country in the fust place. Sounds like a pretty hopeless world doesn't it? Well, it does if we want it to, but just suppose we were to delve under this surface layer of despair. Suppose we dig up some of the remains of stories that weren't tragic enough to make an irnpression on most news viewers. The month of preparation for Thanksgiving brought the grim reality of unemployment to a small town in Indiana this year. One of the towns' major employers had closed down, and many people had lost hope for their usual Thanksgiving festivities. One married couple in the town was touched enough to act. They were not rich, but they were doing well enough to help and they cared. They called up friends, and those friends called friends, and on the night of Thanksgiving they all met at a gymnasium, each bringing food, so that everyone in town had perhaps the most bountiful feast they could ever remember. I heard this story on the news the night before Thanksgiving. It was sandwiched between the crime report and a dismal account of the economy. It is a corny story, dripping with fairy tale sentiment and idealism, but the fact of the matter is that the story is true! The holiday season is not a perfect one. Many deserving people will have to do without. This is neither good nor fair, and one should not pretend it is. We can, however, quite realistically agree that we have more ability to solve our problems than we have ever had before. We should not look at the world through rosecolored glasses, but let's not replace them with masks woven from poison oak.

Inconsistent frosh by Kevin Walzer The inconsistent play of the freshman basketball Braves has dragged them to a 1-4 mark. They have been erratic, sometimes playing well, sometimes falling apart. This inconsistency was reflected in IH's 46-31 non-league loss to Princeton at home last Tuesday. IH jumped out to a 4-0 lead early in the first quarter on layups by Mike Cohen and Erich Metzger. The lead changed hands several times in the first half, but neither side could get in front by more than four. IH controlled the tempo, slowing down the pace and holding the Princeton press. Center Kevin Viox stole a pass and cruised for a layup with 1:3 1 left in the half to take a 16-14 lead. Princeton hit a jumper in the waning seconds to tie at 16. IH came unglued in the second half. In the third quarter, Princeton began to impose their will on the pace, and the tempo rapidly quickened. The Braves had trouble cracking the Princeton full-court press, and they threw away several passes that the Vikings cashed in for layups. Princeton went up by eight, 32-24, in the third quarter. In the fourth, the lead bulged to 37-24, then to 44-26 before the Braves were able to muster any offense of substance. They outscored the Vikings 5-2 in the final two minutes, but by then it was far too late. Coach Steve Thompson was not available for comment. Metzger led the in scoring with 7 points, while Cohen and Viox added 6. IH won its sole game this year in a big way, beating Sycamore, 32-30, at Sycamore. The Braves came from a 28-20 deficit in the third quarter and went on a 12-2 scoring blitz in the fourth to edge the Aviators. IH held the Aves to 2 points the entire fourth quarter. Said forward Bill Baumel, "The fourth quarter we were so psyched. They had a guy who could dunk, and we just kept blocking shot after shot. And the whole game our play was really controlled." Coach Thompson added, "We needed that win. The kids tied them [Sycamore], 15-15, in the first half, and the key to the game was knowing that they could play with Sycamore. That team of

CHIEFTAIN kids [at Sycamore] hadn't lost a league game since seventh grade, so it was a real booster." Metzger, who is the team's leading scorer with an 11.8 average, pumped in 14 points. Thompson said after the Braves' league-opening loss to Glen Este, 43-35, "We executed terribly the first half." Their inconsistency was evident this game, as the Braves were totally dominated the first quarter. The Trojans cruised to a 15-5 lead and never looked back. Glen Este took control of the game with a fast break, and the Braves could not battle back until the third quarter, but by then it was too late; Glen Este had taken to the lockers a 27-1 1halftime lead. In the third quarter IH began to click and made a game of it. Scott Seibert stole an inbounds pass for a layup. Seconds later, point guard Andy Tucker did the same thing. Metzger, who took team scoring honors with 12 points, hit a three-point play with 2:58 remaining to narrow the margin to 11. IH cut the final deficit to nine, 43-32, with four seconds left. The Braves were typically up and down in their first two games, both away. They lost a tough one to Turpin, 35-34, with Metzger pumping in 18 points. The Braves were trampled in the season opener by Anderson, 44-27. Anderson had an 8 point lead at halftime, 22-14, but went on a 16-4 spree in the third to break away for the win.

The Squaws showed a great deal of improvement over their first five games in their 35-32 loss to Milford last Tuesday. The score was tied after the first quarter, and the first half ended with Milford up by two. IH rallied to lead by four in the third period, but the score remained close throughout the fourth quarter. With less than two minutes remaining the score was 32-29 in favor of IH, but the

BASKETBALL, from p. 10 choice was Davis, who dominated inside, scoring 17 points pulling 11 rebounds. The other star went to Senior point guard Todd Goldman, who contributed a steady defensive effort awhile registering four points, three rebounds, and one steal before fouling out. In addition, Arnold scored nine points and had three starts, and Lange and Morgan each grabbed seven rebounds. The Braves played their traditional opener against Mt. Healthy at home on Novermber 24. Mt. Healthy, the city's top ranked teamjebounded their way to 9 1-62 victory over a much smaller Braves' ' squad. The Braves appeared nervous early in the contest, resulting in numerous errors. It took no time for the Owls to establish their inside game as they jumped to a 6-0 lead before Davis scored the Braves first hoop of the year off a pretty pass from

Milford went on to win on foul shots. This near-victory came off a complete disaster at the hands of Sycamore, 50-16, on December 9. Against Greenhills, on December 7, the Squaws showed more improvement in a 53-28 loss. Freshmen Dee Dee Bucher and Cadi Cucinotta showed a remarkable amount of progress. Only a few games had done wonders for their confidence. The Squaws' first league game, against Deer Park on December 2, was expected to be a close contest, but it ended in a 34-point loss for IH, 61-27. However, IH's recent improvement is obvious in that Milford, to whom the Squaws lost by two, beat Deer Park by thirty. Three days earlier the Squaws fell 51-30 to a talented Wyoming squad. IH opened its season with a 58-15 loss to Forest Park, one of the top teams in the city. Forest Park is now 6-0 and defeated Oak Hills in a top state competition. Regarding the Squaws' relative youth and inexperience, coach Dick Pfirman remarked, "It's going as I had expected." However, P f m a n also expressed hope in the season's future. "I've seen improvement from game to game. They're picking up some of the fundamentals they'll need to win. Cadi Cucinotta is coming along well, and Amy Wiatt is starting t o ~ l a now." v

Arnold. The other starters, Kohls, Morgan, and Abrams soon followed Davis into the scoring column. The Owls, however, on the strength of 11 firstquarter points by 6 foot 4 inch center Ron Benford, found themselves on top 21-10 at the end of the first quarter. The start of the second quarter provided much of the same as Mt. Healthy extended its lead to 15 points. On the strength of two dazzling inside moves by Morgan, the Mt. Healthy lead was back down to 11, and the Braves then had a chance to pull within 9, but a missed jump shot put the ball in Mt. Helathy hands. The missed jumper proved an indication of things to come as the Owls outran the Braves the rest of the half and went into the locker room up, 43-26.

In the third quarter an inspired Indian Hill squad, led b y Ashing, played bucket for bucket with the top-ranked Owls. Ashing scored many of his 14 points in the third session, including two on a nifty right-hand hook from the baseline as he sailed towards an impressed group of Indian Hiu cheerleaders. The third quarter, though it ended 23-all, still left Mt. Healthy with an insurmountable lead, as the Owls cruised to a 25-23 fourth quarter finish. Though the game went in the losing column, it was a definite learning experience for the Braves. Star of the game awards were given to Ashing, with 1 4 points, four rebounds and three assists, and Morgan, with 15 points, seven rebounds, and one steal. In addition, Arnold dished out five assists and Abrarns collected five rebounds.

Loveland to host 2-5 varsity Braves tonight Indian Hill will look to bring its record up to 2-2 tonight when they visit the Loveland Tigers at 8:00 p.m. The Braves will not see action again until January 5 when they host Mariemont. The Braves got off to a miserable start against Milford and went on to drop a 78-65 decision Wednesday night at Indian Hill. The Eagles jumped to a 15-3 lead and battled evenly the rest of the game, as each team took advantage of opponents' turnovers. Both coaches protested the officiating throughout the game, which consisted of a lot of physical scrappy play. Jim Arnold pumped in 20 points for the Braves while Dave Davis added

defense. Sycamore took advantage of a Braves' second quarter let down as junior forward Sam Kobb scored twelve points for the Aviators in the second quarter. In addition, Sycamore got consistent guard play and took 33-27 lead into the locker room at halftime. Sycamore continued its hot play in the second half as they lifted their lead to 17 points. With half the fourth quarter gone the Braves started another charge, led by Kriss Ashing, as they cut the Aviator l e e *to ten points. The Braves, however, were forced into a must-foul situation as the Aviators held .on for the victory. The Braves, having outscored the in. the first fourth -Aviators - -- - - - - . . . -- - . and quarters, were equal to Sycamore in that respect. However, the scores by which Sycamore outscored Indian Hill in the middle two quarters were too much on this evening. Four star of game honors, based on all-around play, were awarded at the Sycamore game. Abrams shot the lights out, scoring 15 points while making three steals. Dave Davis also played well, and he was one Brave whose intensity was never in question. He finished with 12 points and four rebounds. In addition, Ashing played well, coming off the bench $to score eight points while dishing out three assists, and Jim Arnold earned a star with ten points d four assists. The Bfaves went down to Norwood Saturday, December 4. Norwood, having lost by only 13 to Mt. Healthy, expected to beat the smaller Braves. However, the Braves, having gelled as a unit the night before, were not about to let the Indians walk away with their first victory and held on t o win, 54-53. Arnold continued his hot shooting as Indian Hill jumped out to a 12 point lead before going in at the half up by eight. Norwood caught fire in the second half, while the pressure shooting of Arnold, Bill Lange, and Jim Morgan kept things tight. Then, with less than three minutes in the game, Norwood jumped ahead by four points. Indian Hill finally pulled back into the lead on two clutch free throws by Arnold. Norwood regained the lead, but then, with less than a minute remaining, Morgan put the Braves ahead to -

In the Braves' most recent contest they travelled to Sycamore for a crucial EHL match-up between the two archrivals. Both teams came into the game 1-0 in league play with Indian Hill looking to upend the bigger Aviators, but the Braves finally fell, 73-58.

stay, 5 2-5 1. On Norwood's next trip down the floor, Ashing drew an offensive foul, giving the ball back to Indian HiLl. With seven seconds left, Arnold hit what proved to be the game winner as Norwood called three time outs in trying to shake his concentration. Norwood hit the final basket, but to no avail. For the fust time this year, double stars were awarded. The first went to Arnold with 19 points, five rebounds, and three assists. The other double went to Morgan, with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Single stars were awarded to Jay Kohls, Lange, with eight crucial points, and Dan Kremchek, with four points, three rebounds. and two recoveries. Indian Hill appeared ready for redemption after an embarrassing string of non-league defeats with a league opening 73-62 victory over the Deer Park Wildcats, Friday, December 3. The Wildcats, though, did not wish to cooperate. The Braves, led by hot shooting Arnold and defensive standout Kohls, traded baskets with Deer Park for much of the first quarter before coming away with a 19-15 lead. The second period saw the Braves turn on full go as they outscored their opponents 23-10, going into the half up 42-25. Much of the Braves large lead was easily attributable to key steals by Arnold and the much improved Kremchek, as well as the Braves strong inside play. Davis, Kremcheck, and especially Morgan played exceptionally well inside, grabbing rebounds while limiting the Wildcats to one shot each time down the floor. The Braves showed in the third quarter that they would not let victory number one slip away as they outscored Deer Park, 1211. The Wildcats, led by Senior Landon Block's 18 points, outscored the Braves 26-19 in the final quarter in what was a case of too little, too late. The Braves victory was a team effort, making it no suprise that five Braves earned star of the game awards. Arnold scored sixteen points while dishing out six assists. Arnold's running mate at guard, Kohls, also earned a star with a fine defensive effort in addition to eight points, two rebounds and five steals. The remaining three stars went to three Braves' big men: Morgan,

December 17,1982 Davis and Kremcheck. Morgan backed up his 16 points with a season high 13 rebounds, as wen as 4 recoveries. Davis added ten points, six rebounds, and an assist, and the hot-shooting Kremchek tallied three rebounds and one steal to go with his ten points. The Braves were still hungry for victory number one when they faced the forest Park Chargers on November 30. After two good days of practice, Indian Hill felt ready to stop the equally hungry Chargers unit. However, win number one was not to come on this night as the Chargers, playing solid end to end basketball, dispersed the Braves by a 7747 margin. The only star awarded in this game went to Kremcheck, with 13 points, four rebounds, two recoveries, and one assist. At this point things looked bad for the Braves. Three games; three losses. The only consolation was that these games were non-league. The Braves second contest, at Finneytown, provided another early glimpse of how well the Braves can play before they were defeated, 60-5 1. They jumped out to an early lead but soon found themselves on the wrong end of a 15-14 first quarter score. The Wildcats, led by 5'10" forward Allen Weiss's six first-half rebounds, controlled the offensive boards for most of the fnst half. The Braves found themselves down at the half by a seemingly insurmountable 15 point lead. In the second half, however, Kohls became Weiss' shadow and prevented any further board play by the high-leaping forward. Up to this point the only other bright spot in the Braves' line-up was the inside play of Davis. The fourth quarter saw the arrival of a rejuvenated Indian Hill team. The Braves began chopping at Finneytown's 19 point lead. The Braves cut the Wildcat lead to 13 points on the strength of two Arnold steals and a basket. Slowly the Braves continued t o nLbble at Finneytown's lead, cutting it to 11 points, then 9. The Wildcats, however, survived the scare, as the Braves came no closer than six points. Though the Braves ourscored their opponents 23-13 in the fourth quarter, the Wildcats still came away with the victory. An obvious star of the game

School prayer would

by Trip ~ d w a d s A few Sundays ago I turned on the T.V. to "The Old Time Gospel Hour." The Reverend Jerry Falwell and Senator Jesse Helms were discussing the socalled "school prayer" amendment to the Constitution. Senator Helms expressed how hard he was working to get the proposed amendment considered and then Reverend Falwell made a plug for a nifty bumper sticker stating "Let Our Kids Pray." I thought, "How could they institutionalize religion? Though this may appear to be an overreaction to their cause, my thought at the time was accurate to what these two men and their cohorts are trying to do. The proposed amendment reads "Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to prohibit individual or group prayer in public schools or other public institutions. No person shall be required by the United States or by any State to participate." At first glance this proposal seems fair enough by allowing the

fc

student to objectively choose between prayer or abstention; but I question whether or not an elementary school student can logically decide issues of religion without being affected by conformance to "acceptable" Western religions and peer pressure. There are some ninety religious organizations in the United States that have at least fiftythousand members. Many of these groups have religious rituals unfamiliar to most Americans. Let us suppose that it is "voluntary" prayer time in school one day in a fifth grade class. There are nineteen practitioners of Western religions and one Zen Buddhist, a survivor of the "boat people" exodus from Vietnam. Would his ritualistic practice of dhyona (meditation) be acceptable by the rest of the class? It is likely that he would be teased about his religious practices. To gain acceptance he may begin to conform to Western modes of prayer thus compromising important religious tradition. This would likely be a breach of

letter from Dr. Fel

Holiday season time Dear Students, This past week there has been a feeling of happiness, fellowship and caring at the high school in anticipation of the long awaited winter recess. The elf auction, holiday concerts, the Christmas tree in the lobby, the exchanging of gifts among friends, shopping m the crowds, and hunting for gifts we want to receive are all activities which symbolize the season. More importantly, however, the holiday season is a time of reflection; a time to relax and think about one's self, family, religion and friends. It is a time of peace - peace within one's self as well as within society. It is a time of sharing not only gifts, but, more importantly, one's self. It is a time of caring and making 3thers happy. It is a time of love. We are all very proud of you for having these qualities and yet, I ask, why are these feelings so pronounced at only one time during the year? Wouldn't it be great if the Christmas spirit existed every day of our lives? The feelings of joy,-aasfac.on and love are unequalled, and

reflect

more importantly, they are obtainable all year round if we would only make the effort. Have you ever received a Christmas card from someone who did not even speak to you throughout the year? What can such a card really mean? I ask you to think about it. I trust each and every one of you will enjoy yourselves and relax during the vacation. Enjoy your family and friends - you deserve it! There was an advertisement which used as it's theme "Make Someone Happy." I would Like to change that to "Make Yourself Happy" by sharing yourselves with others, not only at Christmas, but all the days of your lives. Because I care so much for you, I must state that I want all of you back with us when school resumes, so drive carefully and don't drink. Yes, I had to say it, but only because I care. On behalf of the Indian Hill High School staff, I wish each of you and your families a Happy Chanukah, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. -Karl M. Feltman, Principal

Zen-Buddhist ritual. In such a case, would the "voluntary prayer" amendment benefit this child's religious well being? I am by no means against all religious practices in school, but I do feel that this Constitutional amendment would be an attempt to "establish" religious practices in pqblic institutions that the United States Supreme Court ruled against in 1962. No law states that a student cannot pray in school anyway. The 1980 Southern Baptist convention stated in a resolution that

Page 3 "The Supreme Court has not held that it is illegal for any individual to pray or read his or her Bible in public schools." During lunch it is not hard to find a secluded nook in the commons building suitable for a few minutes or seconds of prayer. It is also true that the student has eighteen hours outside of school open for pursuit of religious endeavors if he or she so desires. From these two points one may conclude that there are logical compromises to the issue of "voluntary prayer" without the compromising of religious beliefs that "voluntary prayer" could create.

student opinion Lennon article 'flogged dead horse by Elbie Herman The Student Opinion written about John Lennon in the last Chieftain edition was a clear attempt to flog a dead horse. The tragic and untimely death of John Lennon at the hands of Mark Chapman has already received enough media attention; so why write about it? I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, for I believe that John Lennon was a great musician who gave more of himself to his fans than merely music, but I find it futile to dwell over the malicious actions of deranged citizens. eside from poor word usage the article contains many factual errors. In the article the songs "Yesterday ," "Why Don't We *Do

It in the Road?" and "Penny Lane" were labeled as Lennon compositions while written by McCartney. On the other hand "I am the Walrus" was credited t o McCartney when it in fact was written by Lennon. These factual mistakes were probably made because the writer was not aware of the agreement that was made between McCartney and Lennon that created the frame-work of Maclen Music. Maclen Music represented the union of the song writing talents of Lennon and McCartney. So from the early Liverpool era until John's solo release of "Cold Turkey," the song that ended the union, any song written bv either

Boxers take calculated risks by Svein Johansen John Bergman wrote about boxing and its risks in the last issue of Chieftain. But is it really a risk? I don't think so. Boxing is n o bigger risk than many other things. You are taking a risk when you are driving your car, working, or even when you are eating (especially second lunch). Accidents happen all the time. Every year 50,000 Americans are getting killed in automobile accidents. Of course there are a lot more there are people boxing, driving but it's carsa large than enough number that you can even compare it with the awful war losses in Vietnam.

When you are boxing, you are just doing what you are allowed to do, and you know the risk. That's the name of the game. It's your job to knock the other guy out, before he does it to you. And every boxer in the world knows that. Boxing is a great sport with tradition that should be continued. What we could do to improve the sport is to get referees with more insight into the game. Who knows what will happen if they don't stop the fight when necessary. A lot of people will continue to say that boxing should be stopped. That is totally wrong. It is , after all, a free world.

Their responsibilities over the twoday period ranged from meeting with other state officers to Dubell's greeting of guests and Weich's introduction of the speakers which included Dr. Franklin Walter, Superintendent of Ohio Public Instruction, and some of his assistants. On Tuesday, December 14, the entire Industrial Arts Club traveled to Cincinnati ~ d a c r o nin Lebanon. The tour taken by the students centered around robotics and some of the applications f:

The club is now in the process of organizing for the state conference in early March. Much time is spent preparing for the contest such as research papers, public speaking, technical writing and other events. Each member must also spend time on general preparation in order for the club to take the state title as in the 81-82 school year. Preparations are also being made for the club's annual spring fund raising projects which include the building of picnic tables and the possibility of producing deck furniture. The club continues to produce items for members of the IH community and have recently completed work on a new trainer's table for the athletic department.

Bio terrorizes by Richard Stradling Does the idea of science producing a superior race through genetics scare you? Do you fear the "Aryan Race" theory of Adolf Hitler? Does the cruel treatment of laboratory animals bother you? Well, you're not alone. Though these honors seem far away and remote, we have to look no further than our own science hallway to find that these abuses

with 'master race'

to mankind and insects are being realized. It seems our own Advanced Placement Biology class under the direction of Mr. Wayne Fricke has been conducting heinous genetics experiments on the potentially dangerous fruitfly. Apparently the experiments go as such; selected fruitflys who show specific characteristics are separated. These chosen few are then forced to mate through means of isolation in tiny

bottles and small doses of mindaltering drugs. When conception is complete, the unsuspecting flies are then hidiously put to death, their delicate bodies fleeing into a vat of vegetable oil where they become trapped and drained, a process which could take hours. Their offspring, unfortunately, face a similar fate. A number of obvious questions arise from this disclosure. For example, what consequences

lHer talks to Pat Metheney G r o u p bassist by Peter Carr The Pat Metheney Group has sold more records than any jazz group in a long time. The reason for this commercial success is impossible to pinpoint, but the listenable quality of the combo plays a substantial part. I had the pleasure of eating Thanksgiving dinner with the bass player, Steve Rodby, of the band and collected enough information regarding Steve and the group to write this article. Although Steve has only been with the Pat Metheney Group for years, he is no stranger to the band. In his teens, Steve attended a summer jazz camp where he played with all of the members of the band, save Nana Vasconcelos. Steve commented that the band at that point had a certain feel to it, and he assumed something would come of it. After graduating from Northwestern University Steve became

a session musician in Chicago where he made lots of money recording McDonald's commercials. The bass player watched from afar as Pat Metheney assembled his band in the East and began putting out albums. Steve remembers Pat Metheney and Lyle Mays dropping by occassionally and teasing him about his occupation and advising him to "get a real job." Steve eventually did get this job, for Pat Metheney's bass Mark Egan, left the band. Steve auditioned and was accepted as the new member of the Pat Metheney Group. With Steve, the band cut their latest album Offramp and have been on a grueling tour schedule (60 dates in 66 days). The band recently ended their latest tour in New York but will be embarking for another in Europe this January. After Europe, back to the U.S. comes

the band, and, they may well visit Cincinnati this summer. Soon to be released are two live albums. The first will contain unreleased material and be entitled Pat Metheney - All the Way Live. The second will probably be a double set containing favorites such as "Phase Dance" and others picked from "Extra Long Sets." Both will be irresistable albums, for the band dons a new dimension of improvisation in concert not present in the studio. By this time Steve was quite sick of my eager questioning, and the topic of conversation switched to Donald Fagen's new album. After listening to an unreleased John Campbell tape, Steely Dan, and Donald Fagen, we retired. When I awoke the next afternoon, Steve had already left for Chicago and was seated next to his bass on the plane. He did leave a note mentioning that he had a wonderful Thanksgiving, as did I.

by Brian Rowe The reserve boys' basketball team is off to its worst start in team history, owning a shameful 1-6 record. The JV Braves lost the most recent of three close losses this season to Milford in overtime last Wednesday, 58-56. A strong 22-point performance by Curtis Ott helped the Braves jump out to a 26-23 halftime lead. In the second half the play was fairly even, with the Braves in charge by four with a minute and a half left. With twelve seconds left and the score tied, a Milford player fouled Brian Rowe, whose two free throws put the Braves up by two. A Milford basket at the buzzer put the game into

overtime. The overtime went back and forth until Milford scored with ten second left. A desperation shot by Ott was just off, and the buzzer sounded, leaving IH two down at the finish. The Braves lost another close decision to Sycamore, 39-38, December 9. IH surged in the fourth quarter, but a last-second free throw left the Braves one short. John Bishop led the team with 14 points. IH was on the wrong end of a 54-35 score against a superior Norwood team December 4. Pete Seremetis accounted for most of the Braves' scoring with 21 points. The Braves' sole victory had

come in a 47-39 defeat of Deer Park the night before. IH led by four at halftime, then pulled away in the third quarter. Seremetis again led the team with 15 points. The Braves lost a 63-61 heartbreaker to Forest Park November 30. The IH JV had a strong offensive attack, but they were outdueled by the balanced Chargers in the fourth quarter. Rowe and Seremetis took the scoring honors with 19 and 18 points, respectively. Due to a thirdquarter letdown, the Braves dropped a 5852 decision to Finneytown on Saturday, November 27. Rowe led IH with 19.

could the school, and the world for that matter, face upon the formation of a superior race of fruitflies? Who benefits from increased fruit destruction? Certainly not you nor I. Then there are the moral questions. Should a small group of high school students be allowed to play God? And what of the flagrant cruelty to the fruitflies. What if someone forced you to breed against your will and then took you out and dumped you in oil? You wouldn't like it, eh? There have been reports of other abuses, as well. Without disclosing names, some members of the class have been knowingly letting flies go so that they can be hunted down like so much wild game. Stories of taxidermy and flies mounted on the wall have also leaked out. But why haven't we heard of these atrocities before? Has the community and the administration lost control of IH's science department? Perhaps, like the rest of us, they are unaware df these problems. And what of Wayne Fricke, the man responsible for letting ten high school student play God to over 300 hopeless fruitflies? We can only pray that society will do ,its part and let justice be served.

PAT, from p. 7 Most seniors at IH are shaping college plans, and Pat is no different. She has applied to U.C, Miami and Ohio State, but is still looking. "I want to get away from here, but deep down inside, I don't want to go too far," explains Pat. "I know where home is." Right now, home is where Pat does her sleeping, her homework, her rapping on her private line and home is where Ebony, her purple tongued, "crazy" Chinese Chou lives. But Pat isn't without goals outside the home. Since eighth grade she has wanted to be a lawyer and has considered being an architect. But that too is unimportant according to Pat. To summarize, if you were t o listen to Pat, you might get the impression she's a boring person. But as many of her friends and aquaintances will tell you and I've tried to illustrate (with little cooperation from Pat), she is far from boring.

New Collins not for ACIDC fans

by Elbie Herman Phil Collins began his musical career with a group called Flaming Youth, which in 1969 released one unsuccessful album called Ark 2. In 1972 he joined the group Genesis as the drummer for their album Nursery Crymes. For the next two years Collins remained the group's drummer and occasional vocalist, but in 1974 after the release of Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, the group's lead vocalist Peter Gabriel

departed from the band to pursue a solo career, so Collins, being the obvious replacement, assumed the position and has since been a major factor in the group's success. Aside from his part in Genesis, Collins in recent years has begun a very successful solo career. His first solo album, Face Values, as well as being one of the top selling albums of 1981, featured two hit singles, "I Missed Again," and "In the Air Tonight." Collins' latest solo release,

Hello, I must be going!, is a clear follow-up to Face Values, for it is of the same high standard of quality and abstract meaning. Of the ten songs on the album the only one I have any complaints about is the first single "You Can't Hurry Love." This song which is a remake of the Supremes' hit is quite good, but when it is compared to the other songs on the album it appears to be a bit out of place. The most notable songs on side one are "I Don't Care Any-

disc review

Led Zepp lin resurrected on viny with 'Coda' by Chris Blanchard Led Zeppelin, still one of rock music's premier bands, has just released their new album, Coda. Coda is a collection of seven unreleased tunes plus a live version of an old Zeppelin track. If one were to listen to the album without first reading the credits, one would probably assume that the songs were written somewhere after 1976. This is not quite the case, as the oldest track dates back to June of 1969, the days of the first Zep album. Another nice thing about Coda is that most of the songs could have been commercial successes if they had been released prior to recording as perhaps 45's. The oldest song on this disc, "We're Gonna Groove" recorded in 1969, is a fast paced piece. Bassist John Paul Jones and late drummer John Bonham again work together to form a tight rhythmic foundation. From this sound base, lead guitarist Jimmy

Page manages to play about every note possible on the guitar. The next song, "Poor Tom," is reminiscent of most of the music on Led Zeppelin III, also recorded in 1970. Notice the bluesy, ramblin-ondown melancholic, quality with which Mr. Page plays his acoustic guitar. This sound is to be found on side B of Zep III, and sides three and four of Physical Graffiti. "I Can't Quit You Baby," a soul-blues tune first done on Led Zeppelin I, is nicely recreated on Coda. This live version is a recording of a sound check before one of their concerts in Britain in 1970. This is Led Zeppelin playing to an empty coliseum. The natural -reverberations are not absorbed by many tens of thousands of ruckus-causing concert goers, adding the much needed intensity which this song lacks on the studio version. The one track of Coda which has been receiving airplay in

Cincy town is "Darlene." A nice piece, but it belonged on In 7hrough the Out Door. The award for the crankin'est tune on the album goes to L L B ~ n zMontreaux," ~'~ a drum and synthesizer duetljam. This song is the finest drum solo by the late John "Bonzo" Bonham. This tune needs, or rather deserves to be played at an extremely loud level, otherwise one would not feel the effect of the doublebass drums. This solo blows away Bonzo's drum solo on The Song Remains the Same and could edge out some of the material done by Neil Peart, percussionist for Rush. Coda, Led Zeppelin's new album of previously unreleased material, should do well on the "Top 100 Album Chart." Personally, I detest this dubious chart of "popular music," but Coda should prove t o be a mild commercial success, offering everyone something they can sink their teeth into.

December 17,1982 more," "1 Can Not Believe It's True," and "Like China." Each of these songs help reveal another facet of Collins' talent, such as the use of drum solos and a horn section. As on Face Values Collins uses the talents of the Earth, Wind, and Fire horn selection. They appear on the songs "I Can Not Believe It's True," and "It Don't Matter to Me," both of which are superb. Collins' most forcefull drumming is used on "I Don't Care Anymore" and "Like China." This definitely adds to these tunes, for it is unusual for drums to predominate as they do in these two songs. Side two, for the most part reveals the emotional side of Collins. Songs like "Thru These Walls," "Don't Let Him Steal Your Heart Away," and "Why Can't It Wait Til Morning," show a part of Phil Collins that has never been portrayed in Genesis. These songs are slow ballads featuring Collins on keyboards and piano; they are somewhat comparable to "If Leaving is Easy" and "You Know What I Mean" from Face Values. Hello, I Must be Going! is a great album, and will most likely be a sales success, as i t is already the 13th top selling album in the country. The only aspect of the album that could possibly hinder its success is the involved thought behind Collins' work. If many of the songs are not listened to closely, their meanings may not be understood. So for those who enjoy Black Sabbath at high volume or worship the entire ACIDC catalog, don't waste the time listening to this one.

Mattox wins Hugh O'Brian Award by Ken Jones Sophomore Linda Mattox won the IH division of the Hugh O'Brian Leadership Contest December 10. The Hugh O'Brian Youth Foundation was started in 1958 to recognize the leadership potential of high school sophomores. The actor, Hugh O'Brian, was inspired to form the foundation after a visit with world famous humanitarian Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Since that time, the foundation has grown to an international scope consisting of

twenty countfies. To be eligible for the Hugh O'Brian Award, the sophomore candidate must have demonstrated some leadership ability. The process begins by answering three essay questions. This year the three questions were: How have you demonstrated leadership ability? How have you expressed sensitivfiy toward others while performing your leadership role? And how have you demonstrated the desire to learn and knowledges and experiences with others?

The candidates are then given an interview with the Selection Committee. This year, the committee consisted of Mr. Gary Gellert, Mrs. Mary Sheridan, Mr. Richard Orndorff, and the two previous winners, senior Tod Cox and junior Dave Agin. From here, Mattox will go t o the State Leadership Seminar in Columbus later in the spring. At this two and a half day conference, winners from Ohio schools will be able to meet with

Wehmann hopes to be airborne again this summer as well as to travel to Maine, probably by more conventional means of transportation. She travels to different parts of the country every year and has now been across the country four times. When she has the opportunity, Wehmann's time is lovingly devoted to her sister's two children, whom she calls "the apples of my eye'' with an ear-toear grin. She also enjoys caring for her two schnauzers, C.J. and Cinders. Despite all this, conversation seldom strays far from Indian Hill. She seems to find a logical perspective for all of her responsibilities, and she values the character development through both the physical education and athletic programs. Both, Wehmann says, "can be as valuable as what goes on in the classroom. "It is important to look for a goood role model in coaches. Wins and losses are not the number one thing to look at, but rather what does the game do for the kids. I t should help you grow in some way even though you may not think about it until later in life." Coaching field hockey has been Wehrnann's "most rewarding experience on a year-to-year basis" at Indian Hill. She also has coached tennis, volleyball, softball and basketball at Indian Hill. So in all this time at Indian Hill as a coach of field hockey teams in the state tournament, a gym teacher, and a third year woman athletic director, what is her favorite experience? "Probably the time I was teaching an exercise class and a l l of a sudden the girls tied me up with a jumprope." I t took Wehmann quite a while, manipulating a rubberband about her fingers, before arriving at the three words that describe herself best: organized, caring, and stubborn. "If I had to change any it would be stubborn. If I want something, I don't give up on it very easily." So don't be surprised of she attains her career goal of athletic administration at the college level "and maybe teaching majors in physical education." But, for right now, Carol Wehmann is soaring at a satifying altitude at Indian Hill. "I sure hope I've done something for the kids here. I know they have done something for me."

Lawrence is in control here by John Lilly Lawrence Gallant is not, nor has hi: ever been, a passive entity. "At the age of one, I forced my parents to move from Livingston, New Jersey, to Cincinnati." And he's been forcing people to do things ever since. "If you ask anyone in Pep Band, they'll probably tell you I'm an unreasonable tyrant." The lad is certainly power hungry. Not only is he conductor of "the best pep band in the world," he is also codriving force behind the one and only Model U.N. Club. "I do as much as I can to keep from getting lazy," he explains. "It gets fun when you're so busy that you start getting delirious." It is a wonder that Lawrence is not walking around in a constant stupor, in that case. He is a member of jazz band, EHL Honors band, and plays secondchair trumpet in the IHHS band. In addition, he plays in the high school orchestra and in the Charter Oak Stationary Concert Marching Band. Why does he enjoy hurting himself with the trumpet? Is it that he likes to feel his lips bleed? How did he get messed up in all of this stuff, anyhow? "In fifth grade, they said,

'Name the three instruments you'd like to play.' I put down trumpet, clarinet, and flute, because they were the only three whose names I knew." Lawrence has since skyrocketed to Brass Hall of I'arne status, although he seems always to be playing second trumpet to one man. "Fred Goosman will be dead by the end of the year," he says of his musical arch-rival. Key Club and National Honor Society add to Lawrence's list of stuff. "Key Club is fun . . . you just help people out; it's no big deal." He also fills a huge gap on Chieftain production nights in his role as rejuvenation editor. This is not to imply that everything is hunkydory in the extracurricular world of Lawrence Gallant. The canning of "It's Academic" this year leaves him no recourse for last year's depressing loss to Boone County. "I'm like a professional football running back who has lost the use of his legs." Another distressing development in Lawrence's life of late is the gradual invasion of ducks in his house's interior design. Asked to comment, he can only babble incoherently, "Ducks!

"I like to do nothing s o m e times," he adds. Provided he survives this year and the summer of precollege work, Lawrence plans "to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court without ever taking a single class in law." He might just be powerhungry enough to pull it off.

Pat is not excited at the prospect of getting her picture taken.

by Richard Stradling Let's get one thing straight; doing a senior sketch on Pat Brantley is no easy task. You see, Pat's the kind of person who hates getting her picture taken and hates answering questions about herself, which poses a small problem. But, after a few "I-wanna-go-home's" and "Idon't believe-yourdoing-this," she settled down. This interview came, however, with the warning that I was endangering our friendship. Beginning at the beginning, Pat was born. Five years later she entered her first kindergarten class at Concord which makes her a member of the illustrious thirteen-year club. Of this, Pat merely states, "Too long." Somewhere along her development, Pat joined the band as a flute player. What she didn't know was that she would some-

day be the principle cymbal player for the award winning IH marching band. Further along, she joined the track team as a sprinter and more recently a hurdler. But neither fact is important according to Pat, whose modesty can't help but show. Don't bother asking about the honorable mention she recieved in State Industrial Arts competition; she probably won't tell you either. What does Pat Brantley d o in her spare time? "Sleep" was Pat's initial response, but further discussion revealed that Pat is often on the phone with her latest beau, Hiawatha Fransisco who is Moeller's star running back and whose name has appeared in the papers on numerous occasions. But that too is unimportant according to Pat.

Wehmann flying high as Indian by Kurt Dusterberg Athletic Director Carol Wehmann has a way of making you believe that she is "very happy" with her job and her life. At age 38, Wehmann is Indian Hill's varsity field hockey coach, a gym teacher for 3 periods per day day, and the athletic director. She had her doubts when she was named Athletic Director in 1980, but now she enjoys the challenge. "I was a little apprehensive, because it is a male dominated profession," Wehmann admitted. "I had never really wanted to do it, and I wasn't sure how people would react. I think it comes as a surprise to the boys that I'm not just a woman who doesn't know anything about sports. "It's really a challenge for me. There is always something You can do for the Program to make it better. I think I got in a rut as the head of the P.E. department, but there is absolutely nothing routine about being an Athletic Director." ~ e h m a n ncame to lndian Hill in 1970 after a two-~earstint as assistant dean of women at Miami University.

disc revi e w

New Collins not for ACIDC fans

by Elbie Herman Phil Collins began his musical career with a group called Flaming Youth, which in 1969 released one unsuccessful album called Ark 2. In 1972 he joined the group Genesis as the drummer for their album Nursery Crymes. For the next two years Collins remained the group's drummer and occasional vocalist, but in 1974 after the release of Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, the group's lead vocalist Peter Gabriel

departed from the band to pursue a solo career, so Collins, being the obvious replacement, assumed the position and has since been a major factor in the group's success. Aside from his part in Genesis, Collins in recent years has begun a very successful solo career. His first solo album, Face Values, as well as being one of the top selling albums of 1981, featured two hit singles, "I Missed Again," and "In the Air Tonight." Collins' latest solo release,

Hello, I must be going!, is a clear follow-up to Face Values, for it is of the same high standard of quality and abstract meaning. Of the ten songs on the album the only one I have any complaints about is the first single "You Can't Hurry Love." This song which is a remake of the Supremes' hit is quite good, but when it is compared to the other songs on the album it appears to be a bit out of place. The most notable songs on side one are "I Don't Care Any-

disc review

Led Zepp lin resurrected on viny with 'Coda' by Chris Blanchard Led Zeppelin, still one of rock music's premier bands, has just released their new album, Coda. Coda is a collection of seven unreleased tunes plus a live version of an old Zeppelin track. If one were to listen to the album without first reading the credits, one would probably assume that the songs were written somewhere after 1976. This is not quite the case, as the oldest track dates back to June of 1969, the days of the first Zep album. Another nice thing about Coda is that most of the songs could have been commercial successes if they had been released prior to recording as perhaps 45's. The oldest song on this disc, "We're Gonna Groove" recorded in 1969, is a fast paced piece. Bassist John Paul Jones and late drummer John Bonham again work together to form a tight rhythmic foundation. From this sound base, lead guitarist Jimmy

Page manages to play about every note possible on the guitar. The next song, "Poor Tom," is reminiscent of most of the music on Led Zeppelin III, also recorded in 1970. Notice the bluesy, ramblin-ondown melancholic, quality with which Mr. Page plays his acoustic guitar. This sound is to be found on side B of Zep III, and sides three and four of Physical Graffiti. "I Can't Quit You Baby," a soul-blues tune first done on Led Zeppelin I, is nicely recreated on Coda. This live version is a recording of a sound check before one of their concerts in Britain in 1970. This is Led Zeppelin playing to an empty coliseum. The natural -reverberations are not absorbed by many tens of thousands of ruckus-causing concert goers, adding the much needed intensity which this song lacks on the studio version. The one track of Coda which has been receiving airplay in

Cincy town is "Darlene." A nice piece, but it belonged on In 7hrough the Out Door. The award for the crankin'est tune on the album goes to L L B ~ n zMontreaux," ~'~ a drum and synthesizer duetljam. This song is the finest drum solo by the late John "Bonzo" Bonham. This tune needs, or rather deserves to be played at an extremely loud level, otherwise one would not feel the effect of the doublebass drums. This solo blows away Bonzo's drum solo on The Song Remains the Same and could edge out some of the material done by Neil Peart, percussionist for Rush. Coda, Led Zeppelin's new album of previously unreleased material, should do well on the "Top 100 Album Chart." Personally, I detest this dubious chart of "popular music," but Coda should prove t o be a mild commercial success, offering everyone something they can sink their teeth into.

December 17,1982 more," "1 Can Not Believe It's True," and "Like China." Each of these songs help reveal another facet of Collins' talent, such as the use of drum solos and a horn section. As on Face Values Collins uses the talents of the Earth, Wind, and Fire horn selection. They appear on the songs "I Can Not Believe It's True," and "It Don't Matter to Me," both of which are superb. Collins' most forcefull drumming is used on "I Don't Care Anymore" and "Like China." This definitely adds to these tunes, for it is unusual for drums to predominate as they do in these two songs. Side two, for the most part reveals the emotional side of Collins. Songs like "Thru These Walls," "Don't Let Him Steal Your Heart Away," and "Why Can't It Wait Til Morning," show a part of Phil Collins that has never been portrayed in Genesis. These songs are slow ballads featuring Collins on keyboards and piano; they are somewhat comparable to "If Leaving is Easy" and "You Know What I Mean" from Face Values. Hello, I Must be Going! is a great album, and will most likely be a sales success, as i t is already the 13th top selling album in the country. The only aspect of the album that could possibly hinder its success is the involved thought behind Collins' work. If many of the songs are not listened to closely, their meanings may not be understood. So for those who enjoy Black Sabbath at high volume or worship the entire ACIDC catalog, don't waste the time listening to this one.

Mattox wins Hugh O'Brian Award by Ken Jones Sophomore Linda Mattox won the IH division of the Hugh O'Brian Leadership Contest December 10. The Hugh O'Brian Youth Foundation was started in 1958 to recognize the leadership potential of high school sophomores. The actor, Hugh O'Brian, was inspired to form the foundation after a visit with world famous humanitarian Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Since that time, the foundation has grown to an international scope consisting of

twenty countfies. To be eligible for the Hugh O'Brian Award, the sophomore candidate must have demonstrated some leadership ability. The process begins by answering three essay questions. This year the three questions were: How have you demonstrated leadership ability? How have you expressed sensitivfiy toward others while performing your leadership role? And how have you demonstrated the desire to learn and knowledges and experiences with others?

The candidates are then given an interview with the Selection Committee. This year, the committee consisted of Mr. Gary Gellert, Mrs. Mary Sheridan, Mr. Richard Orndorff, and the two previous winners, senior Tod Cox and junior Dave Agin. From here, Mattox will go t o the State Leadership Seminar in Columbus later in the spring. At this two and a half day conference, winners from Ohio schools will be able to meet with

by Chris Wiech Chris Wiech (American Industrial Arts Student Association State Vice-President) and Steve (Ohio Southwestern Dube 1 District Vice-President) traveled to Columbus for the 1982 Vocational Youth Conference on Thursday of last week. In Columbus they met with other state officers representing DECA, VICA, OEA, FHA-Hero, and FFA to hear speakers from the Ohio Department of Education. Their responsibilities over the twoday period ranged from meeting with other state officers to Dubell's greeting of guests and Weich's introduction of the speakers which included Dr. Franklin Walter, Superintendent of Ohio Public Instruction, and some of his assistants. On Tuesday, December 14, the entire Industrial Arts Club traveled to Cincinnati ~ d a c r o nin Lebanon. The tour taken by the students centered around robotics and some of the applications f:

robots in industry. Mr. Dennis Dupps, club advisor, commented that the trip showed a "realistic example of what our students will experience when they enter the world of work ." The club is now in the process of organizing for the state conference in early March. Much time is spent preparing for the contest such as research papers, public speaking, technical writing and other events. Each member must also spend time on general preparation in order for the club to take the state title as in the 81-82 school year. Preparations are also being made for the club's annual spring fund raising projects which include the building of picnic tables and the possibility of producing deck furniture. The club continues to produce items for members of the IH community and have recently completed work on a new trainer's table for the athletic department.

Though these honors seem far away and remote, we have to look no further than our own science hallway to find that these abuses

with 'master race'

to mankind and insects are being realized. It seems our own Advanced Placement Biology class under the direction of Mr. Wayne Fricke has been conducting heinous genetics experiments on the potentially dangerous fruitfly. Apparently the experiments go as such; selected fruitflys who show specific characteristics are separated. These chosen few are then forced to mate through means of isolation in tiny

bottles and small doses of mindaltering drugs. When conception is complete, the unsuspecting flies are then hidiously put to death, their delicate bodies fleeing into a vat of vegetable oil where they become trapped and drained, a process which could take hours. Their offspring, unfortunately, face a similar fate. A number of obvious questions arise from this disclosure. For example, what consequences

lHer talks to Pat Metheney G r o u p bassist by Peter Carr The Pat Metheney Group has sold more records than any jazz group in a long time. The reason for this commercial success is impossible to pinpoint, but the listenable quality of the combo plays a substantial part. I had the pleasure of eating Thanksgiving dinner with the bass player, Steve Rodby, of the band and collected enough information regarding Steve and the group to write this article. Although Steve has only been with the Pat Metheney Group for years, he is no stranger to the band. In his teens, Steve attended a summer jazz camp where he played with all of the members of the band, save Nana Vasconcelos. Steve commented that the band at that point had a certain feel to it, and he assumed something would come of it. After graduating from Northwestern University Steve became

a session musician in Chicago where he made lots of money recording McDonald's commercials. The bass player watched from afar as Pat Metheney assembled his band in the East and began putting out albums. Steve remembers Pat Metheney and Lyle Mays dropping by occassionally and teasing him about his occupation and advising him to "get a real job." Steve eventually did get this job, for Pat Metheney's bass Mark Egan, left the band. Steve auditioned and was accepted as the new member of the Pat Metheney Group. With Steve, the band cut their latest album Offramp and have been on a grueling tour schedule (60 dates in 66 days). The band recently ended their latest tour in New York but will be embarking for another in Europe this January. After Europe, back to the U.S. comes

the band, and, they may well visit Cincinnati this summer. Soon to be released are two live albums. The first will contain unreleased material and be entitled Pat Metheney - All the Way Live. The second will probably be a double set containing favorites such as "Phase Dance" and others picked from "Extra Long Sets." Both will be irresistable albums, for the band dons a new dimension of improvisation in concert not present in the studio. By this time Steve was quite sick of my eager questioning, and the topic of conversation switched to Donald Fagen's new album. After listening to an unreleased John Campbell tape, Steely Dan, and Donald Fagen, we retired. When I awoke the next afternoon, Steve had already left for Chicago and was seated next to his bass on the plane. He did leave a note mentioning that he had a wonderful Thanksgiving, as did I.

by Brian Rowe The reserve boys' basketball team is off to its worst start in team history, owning a shameful 1-6 record. The JV Braves lost the most recent of three close losses this season to Milford in overtime last Wednesday, 58-56. A strong 22-point performance by Curtis Ott helped the Braves jump out to a 26-23 halftime lead. In the second half the play was fairly even, with the Braves in charge by four with a minute and a half left. With twelve seconds left and the score tied, a Milford player fouled Brian Rowe, whose two free throws put the Braves up by two. A Milford basket at the buzzer put the game into

overtime. The overtime went back and forth until Milford scored with ten second left. A desperation shot by Ott was just off, and the buzzer sounded, leaving IH two down at the finish. The Braves lost another close decision to Sycamore, 39-38, December 9. IH surged in the fourth quarter, but a last-second free throw left the Braves one short. John Bishop led the team with 14 points. IH was on the wrong end of a 54-35 score against a superior Norwood team December 4. Pete Seremetis accounted for most of the Braves' scoring with 21 points. The Braves' sole victory had

come in a 47-39 defeat of Deer Park the night before. IH led by four at halftime, then pulled away in the third quarter. Seremetis again led the team with 15 points. The Braves lost a 63-61 heartbreaker to Forest Park November 30. The IH JV had a strong offensive attack, but they were outdueled by the balanced Chargers in the fourth quarter. Rowe and Seremetis took the scoring honors with 19 and 18 points, respectively. Due to a thirdquarter letdown, the Braves dropped a 5852 decision to Finneytown on Saturday, November 27. Rowe led IH with 19.

could the school, and the world for that matter, face upon the formation of a superior race of fruitflies? Who benefits from increased fruit destruction? Certainly not you nor I. Then there are the moral questions. Should a small group of high school students be allowed to play God? And what of the flagrant cruelty to the fruitflies. What if someone forced you to breed against your will and then took you out and dumped you in oil? You wouldn't like it, eh? There have been reports of other abuses, as well. Without disclosing names, some members of the class have been knowingly letting flies go so that they can be hunted down like so much wild game. Stories of taxidermy and flies mounted on the wall have also leaked out. But why haven't we heard of these atrocities before? Has the community and the administration lost control of IH's science department? Perhaps, like the rest of us, they are unaware df these problems. And what of Wayne Fricke, the man responsible for letting ten high school student play God to over 300 hopeless fruitflies? We can only pray that society will do ,its part and let justice be served.

PAT, from p. 7 Most seniors at IH are shaping college plans, and Pat is no different. She has applied to U.C, Miami and Ohio State, but is still looking. "I want to get away from here, but deep down inside, I don't want to go too far," explains Pat. "I know where home is." Right now, home is where Pat does her sleeping, her homework, her rapping on her private line and home is where Ebony, her purple tongued, "crazy" Chinese Chou lives. But Pat isn't without goals outside the home. Since eighth grade she has wanted to be a lawyer and has considered being an architect. But that too is unimportant according to Pat. To summarize, if you were t o listen to Pat, you might get the impression she's a boring person. But as many of her friends and aquaintances will tell you and I've tried to illustrate (with little cooperation from Pat), she is far from boring.

Loveland to host 2-5 varsity Braves tonight Indian Hill will look to bring its record up to 2-2 tonight when they visit the Loveland Tigers at 8:00 p.m. The Braves will not see action again until January 5 when they host Mariemont. The Braves got off to a miserable start against Milford and went on to drop a 78-65 decision Wednesday night at Indian Hill. The Eagles jumped to a 15-3 lead and battled evenly the rest of the game, as each team took advantage of opponents' turnovers. Both coaches protested the officiating throughout the game, which consisted of a lot of physical scrappy play. Jim Arnold pumped in 20 points for the Braves while Dave Davis added

defense. Sycamore took advantage of a Braves' second quarter let down as junior forward Sam Kobb scored twelve points for the Aviators in the second quarter. In addition, Sycamore got consistent guard play and took 33-27 lead into the locker room at halftime. Sycamore continued its hot play in the second half as they lifted their lead to 17 points. With half the fourth quarter gone the Braves started another charge, led by Kriss Ashing, as they cut the Aviator l e e *to ten points. The Braves, however, were forced into a must-foul situation as the Aviators held .on for the victory. The Braves, having outscored the in. the first fourth -Aviators - -- - - - - . . . -- - . and quarters, were equal to Sycamore in that respect. However, the scores by which Sycamore outscored Indian Hill in the middle two quarters were too much on this evening. Four star of game honors, based on all-around play, were awarded at the Sycamore game. Abrams shot the lights out, scoring 15 points while making three steals. Dave Davis also played well, and he was one Brave whose intensity was never in question. He finished with 12 points and four rebounds. In addition, Ashing played well, coming off the bench $to score eight points while dishing out three assists, and Jim Arnold earned a star with ten points d four assists. The Bfaves went down to Norwood Saturday, December 4. Norwood, having lost by only 13 to Mt. Healthy, expected to beat the smaller Braves. However, the Braves, having gelled as a unit the night before, were not about to let the Indians walk away with their first victory and held on t o win, 54-53. Arnold continued his hot shooting as Indian Hill jumped out to a 12 point lead before going in at the half up by eight. Norwood caught fire in the second half, while the pressure shooting of Arnold, Bill Lange, and Jim Morgan kept things tight. Then, with less than three minutes in the game, Norwood jumped ahead by four points. Indian Hill finally pulled back into the lead on two clutch free throws by Arnold.

In the Braves' most recent contest they travelled to Sycamore for a crucial EHL match-up between the two archrivals. Both teams came into the game 1-0 in league play with Indian Hill looking to upend the bigger Aviators, but the Braves finally fell, 73-58. Indian Hill continued their recent hot play early in the game as they jumped to a 16-10 fust quarter lead led by the hot shooting of Rick Abrams and an equally hot

stay, 5 2-5 1. On Norwood's next trip down the floor, Ashing drew an offensive foul, giving the ball back to Indian HiLl. With seven seconds left, Arnold hit what proved to be the game winner as Norwood called three time outs in trying to shake his concentration. Norwood hit the final basket, but to no avail. For the fust time this year, double stars were awarded. The first went to Arnold with 19 points, five rebounds, and three assists. The other double went to Morgan, with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Single stars were awarded to Jay Kohls, Lange, with eight crucial points, and Dan Kremchek, with four points, three rebounds. and two recoveries. Indian Hill appeared ready for redemption after an embarrassing string of non-league defeats with a league opening 73-62 victory over the Deer Park Wildcats, Friday, December 3. The Wildcats, though, did not wish to cooperate. The Braves, led by hot shooting Arnold and defensive standout Kohls, traded baskets with Deer Park for much of the first quarter before coming away with a 19-15 lead. The second period saw the Braves turn on full go as they outscored their opponents 23-10, going into the half up 42-25. Much of the Braves large lead was easily attributable to key steals by Arnold and the much improved Kremchek, as well as the Braves strong inside play. Davis, Kremcheck, and especially Morgan played exceptionally well inside, grabbing rebounds while limiting the Wildcats to one shot each time down the floor. The Braves showed in the third quarter that they would not let victory number one slip away as they outscored Deer Park, 1211. The Wildcats, led by Senior Landon Block's 18 points, outscored the Braves 26-19 in the final quarter in what was a case of too little, too late. The Braves victory was a team effort, making it no suprise that five Braves earned star of the game awards. Arnold scored sixteen points while dishing out six assists. Arnold's running mate at guard, Kohls, also earned a star with a fine defensive effort in addition to eight points, two rebounds and five steals. The remaining three stars went to three Braves' big men: Morgan,

December 17,1982 Davis and Kremcheck. Morgan backed up his 16 points with a season high 13 rebounds, as wen as 4 recoveries. Davis added ten points, six rebounds, and an assist, and the hot-shooting Kremchek tallied three rebounds and one steal to go with his ten points. The Braves were still hungry for victory number one when they faced the forest Park Chargers on November 30. After two good days of practice, Indian Hill felt ready to stop the equally hungry Chargers unit. However, win number one was not to come on this night as the Chargers, playing solid end to end basketball, dispersed the Braves by a 7747 margin. The only star awarded in this game went to Kremcheck, with 13 points, four rebounds, two recoveries, and one assist. At this point things looked bad for the Braves. Three games; three losses. The only consolation was that these games were non-league. The Braves second contest, at Finneytown, provided another early glimpse of how well the Braves can play before they were defeated, 60-5 1. They jumped out to an early lead but soon found themselves on the wrong end of a 15-14 first quarter score. The Wildcats, led by 5'10" forward Allen Weiss's six first-half rebounds, controlled the offensive boards for most of the fnst half. The Braves found themselves down at the half by a seemingly insurmountable 15 point lead. In the second half, however, Kohls became Weiss' shadow and prevented any further board play by the high-leaping forward. Up to this point the only other bright spot in the Braves' line-up was the inside play of Davis. The fourth quarter saw the arrival of a rejuvenated Indian Hill team. The Braves began chopping at Finneytown's 19 point lead. The Braves cut the Wildcat lead to 13 points on the strength of two Arnold steals and a basket. Slowly the Braves continued t o nLbble at Finneytown's lead, cutting it to 11 points, then 9. The Wildcats, however, survived the scare, as the Braves came no closer than six points. Though the Braves ourscored their opponents 23-13 in the fourth quarter, the Wildcats still came away with the victory. An obvious star of the game

School prayer would

by Trip ~ d w a d s A few Sundays ago I turned on the T.V. to "The Old Time Gospel Hour." The Reverend Jerry Falwell and Senator Jesse Helms were discussing the socalled "school prayer" amendment to the Constitution. Senator Helms expressed how hard he was working to get the proposed amendment considered and then Reverend Falwell made a plug for a nifty bumper sticker stating "Let Our Kids Pray." I thought, "How could they institutionalize religion? Though this may appear to be an overreaction to their cause, my thought at the time was accurate to what these two men and their cohorts are trying to do. The proposed amendment reads "Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to prohibit individual or group prayer in public schools or other public institutions. No person shall be required by the United States or by any State to participate." At first glance this proposal seems fair enough by allowing the

fc

student to objectively choose between prayer or abstention; but I question whether or not an elementary school student can logically decide issues of religion without being affected by conformance to "acceptable" Western religions and peer pressure. There are some ninety religious organizations in the United States that have at least fiftythousand members. Many of these groups have religious rituals unfamiliar to most Americans. Let us suppose that it is "voluntary" prayer time in school one day in a fifth grade class. There are nineteen practitioners of Western religions and one Zen Buddhist, a survivor of the "boat people" exodus from Vietnam. Would his ritualistic practice of dhyona (meditation) be acceptable by the rest of the class? It is likely that he would be teased about his religious practices. To gain acceptance he may begin to conform to Western modes of prayer thus compromising important religious tradition. This would likely be a breach of

Holiday season time Dear Students, This past week there has been a feeling of happiness, fellowship and caring at the high school in anticipation of the long awaited winter recess. The elf auction, holiday concerts, the Christmas tree in the lobby, the exchanging of gifts among friends, shopping m the crowds, and hunting for gifts we want to receive are all activities which symbolize the season. More importantly, however, the holiday season is a time of reflection; a time to relax and think about one's self, family, religion and friends. It is a time of peace - peace within one's self as well as within society. It is a time of sharing not only gifts, but, more importantly, one's self. It is a time of caring and making 3thers happy. It is a time of love. We are all very proud of you for having these qualities and yet, I ask, why are these feelings so pronounced at only one time during the year? Wouldn't it be great if the Christmas spirit existed every day of our lives? The feelings of joy,-aasfac.on and love are unequalled, and

reflect

more importantly, they are obtainable all year round if we would only make the effort. Have you ever received a Christmas card from someone who did not even speak to you throughout the year? What can such a card really mean? I ask you to think about it. I trust each and every one of you will enjoy yourselves and relax during the vacation. Enjoy your family and friends - you deserve it! There was an advertisement which used as it's theme "Make Someone Happy." I would Like to change that to "Make Yourself Happy" by sharing yourselves with others, not only at Christmas, but all the days of your lives. Because I care so much for you, I must state that I want all of you back with us when school resumes, so drive carefully and don't drink. Yes, I had to say it, but only because I care. On behalf of the Indian Hill High School staff, I wish each of you and your families a Happy Chanukah, a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. -Karl M. Feltman, Principal

Zen-Buddhist ritual. In such a case, would the "voluntary prayer" amendment benefit this child's religious well being? I am by no means against all religious practices in school, but I do feel that this Constitutional amendment would be an attempt to "establish" religious practices in pqblic institutions that the United States Supreme Court ruled against in 1962. No law states that a student cannot pray in school anyway. The 1980 Southern Baptist convention stated in a resolution that

Page 3 "The Supreme Court has not held that it is illegal for any individual to pray or read his or her Bible in public schools." During lunch it is not hard to find a secluded nook in the commons building suitable for a few minutes or seconds of prayer. It is also true that the student has eighteen hours outside of school open for pursuit of religious endeavors if he or she so desires. From these two points one may conclude that there are logical compromises to the issue of "voluntary prayer" without the compromising of religious beliefs that "voluntary prayer" could create.

The tragic and untimely death of John Lennon at the hands of Mark Chapman has already received enough media attention; so why write about it? I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, for I believe that John Lennon was a great musician who gave more of himself to his fans than merely music, but I find it futile to dwell over the malicious actions of deranged citizens. eside from poor word usage the article contains many factual errors. In the article the songs "Yesterday ," "Why Don't We *Do

It in the Road?" and "Penny Lane" were labeled as Lennon compositions while written by McCartney. On the other hand "I am the Walrus" was credited t o McCartney when it in fact was written by Lennon. These factual mistakes were probably made because the writer was not aware of the agreement that was made between McCartney and Lennon that created the frame-work of Maclen Music. Maclen Music represented the union of the song writing talents of Lennon and McCartney. So from the early Liverpool era until John's solo release of "Cold Turkey," the song that ended the union, any song written bv either

Boxers take calculated risks by Svein Johansen John Bergman wrote about boxing and its risks in the last issue of Chieftain. But is it really a risk? I don't think so. Boxing is n o bigger risk than many other things. You are taking a risk when you are driving your car, working, or even when you are eating (especially second lunch). Accidents happen all the time. Every year 50,000 Americans are getting killed in automobile accidents. Of course there are a lot more there are people boxing, driving but it's carsa large than enough number that you can even compare it with the awful war losses in Vietnam.

When you are boxing, you are just doing what you are allowed to do, and you know the risk. That's the name of the game. It's your job to knock the other guy out, before he does it to you. And every boxer in the world knows that. Boxing is a great sport with tradition that should be continued. What we could do to improve the sport is to get referees with more insight into the game. Who knows what will happen if they don't stop the fight when necessary. A lot of people will continue to say that boxing should be stopped. That is totally wrong. It is , after all, a free world.

~ a ~ l ashares in by Kurt Dusterberg Reverend Father Richard J. Connelly has been in pro football for nearly 40 years and he is still a starter every Sunday for the Cincinnati Bengals. You might call him the Bengals' altarback or maybe the "knows" guard. Father Connelly has been the Bengals' team chaplain and counsellor for 14 years and served 26 years with the Cleveland Browns before that. He met Paul Brown in 1946 through Clevelqnd kicker Lou "The Toe" Groza and became the first professional team chaplain. With the Bengals, Father Connelly finds his primary role is that of listening and giving advice to the players year-to-year, the problems are similar, he says. "They aren't sure of their job, they want to know whether they should buy a home or an apartment, or whether they should bring their wives or leave them at home. It's a big question because if you last fnre years, that's about the average." Father Cormelly feeIs he is easily received by the players and has their respect. "I'm educated more and .I'm older than any of them, so I have that advantage," he chuckled. "Players want to share their problems with someone not in a uniform. They don't want to tell another player their problems. Really religion doesn't have anything to do with it; everyone has problems and if they want free advice from someone with experience, they can come to me."

Father Connelly pauses along the sidelines during a Bengals game. Father Connelly says a Catholic mass and a nondenominational service every week for the Bengals. He travels with the team and spends his time pacing the sidelines during the game "checking up on injured players and seeing how they are doing." The team chaplain feels his purpose is t o help the team's morale. Father Connelly says he faces the same problems with players today as he saw as a major in the Chaplain Corps in World War 11, 'where he received five Bafile Stars, a Bronze Star and a Silver Star. "Sometimes the problems don't seem so important, but they are to the individual, and that's what counts." Since 1946, Father Connelly has seen dramatic changes in the game of football. "Players today compared to when I was starting

"What happens is the hometown papers give a rookie a big article saying he signed a contract and everyone thinks he's made the team. AU that means is he's given the chance to come to camp. Its tough when everyone finds out he's not a hero." "I tell them they did their best and gave it everything they've got and there may be other chances," Father Connelly says about the rookies who don't make the squad. "We discuss going to Canada (to play in the Canadian Football League) or just staying in shape and trying again the next season, or moving on to some thing else for a life's work." The "pigskin priest," as he has been called, is teaming up with longtime friend Lou Groza to write a book of the happenings iri their football lives. "I want to call it The Collar and the Toe, but Lou wants to call it The Toe and the Collar,"he laughs, "but we haven't been abIe to get together enough to work on it. Fot the retired priest, the Bengals have become "a way of life", in addition to a lengthy lectuiing schedule he keeps. "Working with the Bengals is a way for me t o relax and it keeps me busy." Then he added with a tone of satisfaction, "and I can do it as long as I want."

Grapplers start out well by Dave Stradling The Indian Hill varsity wrestlers showed the potential to be a fine team in their fzst meet, a quad-meet, Saturday, December 11. The meet, held at Ross High School, was a series of three dual meets. In the dual meets Indian Hill defeated Finneytown, 53-21, but they lost two very close matches to Ross, 35-27, and Monroe, 42-36. Coaches Ron Webber and Jim Collins both agreed that the matches were a good beginning of the season for such a young team. Webber noted, "It was a good start in the sense that we got confidence but not overconfidence."

With only two seniors holding varsity positions, this team is young, but it still has several returning wrestlers. In these wrestlers Collins has found better technique over that of last year. Most of all, Collins believes that the team will keep on improving as the season goes on. If any one wrestler is to be commended for his performance, it would be Kenny Slazyk (126). In all three of his matches Slazyk has pinned his opponent. Also pinning at the quad-meet were Chip Grenlee (HWT), Tom Geygan (185), Mike Feltman (145), Casey Ryan (138), Andy Graham (112), and Matt Feltman (105).

Mike Feltman shows off one of the wrestling holds on his opponent's head in the Braqes' recent match at Ross High School.

IHers O gain appreciation venturing into wilderness

~

by Paul Monach Increasing worry concerning polution, nuclear power, and industrial expansion has brought about a greater awareness of the state of our environment. Many movements have been made across the country to preserve and appreciate the untainted wilderness that still remains in national parks, forests, and wildlife preserves. Wilderness Ventures is one of several programs developed in the past ten or twelve years in order to teach young people how to best appreciate America's vanishing wilderness with a learning-bydoing approach. The Wilderness Ventures program, open to a l l aged 14 through 18, currently consists of twelve different summer expeditions in the American West ranging in cost from $990 to $2050. The various programs include, among others, the Northwest expedition, several Rocky Mountain expeditions, and bicycling expeditions. The participants always camp outdoors and prepare the food themselves. The emphasis in most of the programs is on backpacking and rock climbing skills, and some expeditions include snow climbing and whitewater rafting. According to the Wilderness Ventures expedition information booklet, the trips are "physically and psycho-

logically challenging but well within the grasp of the average teenager." The booklet also emphasizes that the programs are suitable for both the beginner and the experienced backpacker. Two of several local teenagers who have participated in Wilderness Ventures are Indian Hill High School sophomores Gay Stauft and Greg Meyers. Gay went on the Northwest expedition, the most popular WV program, from July 1 to August 16 this past summer. This consisted of six major backcountry trips with many brief interim stops in such places as the Snake River Country, the McKenzie Lava Flows, Earthquake Lake, and Old Faithful. Gay learned about the program from a letter in the mail, which invited her to view a slide show at Cincinnati Country Club. She finally decided to apply "because it was different," and she was accepted into the Northwest expedition. Gay began her trip with a plane ride to Denver, where she and all the other participants from around the country were met by the trip leaders. They then proceeded to Rocky Mountain National Park, where they learned t o use the equipment and became acquainted with each

The two thoughts do not seem t o go together well, but often they come from the same mouth. Many believe Christmas is a commercial or capitalist holiday and the true meaning is lost among gift giving, decorating, and caroling. People don't seem t o crave the true meaning in religious terms, or the exchange of gifts, but rather the "holiday spirit." Exactly what holiday spirit is is not hard t o define. It is something that comes from the individual. It may be a Christmas card, a telephone call, an invitation, or a sincere best wish - something as simple as that. The holiday spirit is a gift you can give and receive by offering the simplest of gestures. Christmas is still eight days away. You have the chance, so take it. Maybe the seasonal spirit lasts only a short time, but if you give just a little of yourself, the gift of spirit can last quite a while.

We would like to thank those souls who put themselves on the block for this year's Elf Auction. Through bids and change thrown on stage, we made $906, all of which will be donated to The Salvation Army, The Free Store, and The Neediest Kids of All. Last month's food drive was equally successful. We collected a little less than $400 which was donated to Oxfam and a large fraction of a ton of food which was given to the Free Store. Mr. Pfman's homeroom cashed in on the donuts, largely due to incentives he offered his classes.

We have submitted the results of our lunchroom survey to the administration and are waiting for action. The survey suggested a problem existed with long, slowmoving lunch lines. We have given the PTA a list of names of volunteers to work at Rendezvous. We will also act as a liason between the PTA and students. In conclusion, have a happy Chanakah, a Merry Christmas or just a nice vacation. Sincerely, Todd Cox & Richard Stradling

by John Bergman Well, it is that time of year again, the holiday season, during which mirth, merriment, and cheer have always reigned supreme in the emotional kingdom, and the most intolerable of circumstances have always become a bit more tolerable. It is also the time of year when reporters all over the country take out their annual renewal of skepticism. All those good tidings make them a little nervous, you know, after all love and generosity are not the stuff of which the six o'clock news is made. So they bring their finest pair of ultra high-powered binoculars out of storage, pack a knapsack full of exclamation points, just in case they need a few extra ones, and go off on a cross country quest to hunt down evil and bring it to the public eye. One can only watch so many of those "how can you be happy" stories, before he must confront the obvious question: "are things really this bad?" The best way to become acquainted with the argument in favor of this statement is once again to consult the nearest newspaper or watch almost any television news program. On a personal level, crime is rampant. We hear about it so much that we are almost callously indifferent to it. We hear also of poverty; absolute poverty that leaves families looking for some way to make enough money for that next meal! Then of course, as if that weren't bad enough, there are the national and international problems. There are approximately twelve million people unemployed. Inflation is making necessities as expensive as luxuries once were. The government can't afford to help the poor any more than it does. They have to worry about that far off villian called the U.S.S.R.

On top of all of this, a man threatened to blow up one of our nation's great monuments in the name of peace, and the United Nations can't even decide who discovered our country in the fust place. Sounds like a pretty hopeless world doesn't it? Well, it does if we want it to, but just suppose we were to delve under this surface layer of despair. Suppose we dig up some of the remains of stories that weren't tragic enough to make an irnpression on most news viewers. The month of preparation for Thanksgiving brought the grim reality of unemployment to a small town in Indiana this year. One of the towns' major employers had closed down, and many people had lost hope for their usual Thanksgiving festivities. One married couple in the town was touched enough to act. They were not rich, but they were doing well enough to help and they cared. They called up friends, and those friends called friends, and on the night of Thanksgiving they all met at a gymnasium, each bringing food, so that everyone in town had perhaps the most bountiful feast they could ever remember. I heard this story on the news the night before Thanksgiving. It was sandwiched between the crime report and a dismal account of the economy. It is a corny story, dripping with fairy tale sentiment and idealism, but the fact of the matter is that the story is true! The holiday season is not a perfect one. Many deserving people will have to do without. This is neither good nor fair, and one should not pretend it is. We can, however, quite realistically agree that we have more ability to solve our problems than we have ever had before. We should not look at the world through rosecolored glasses, but let's not replace them with masks woven from poison oak.

December 17,1982

Inconsistent frosh by Kevin Walzer The inconsistent play of the freshman basketball Braves has dragged them to a 1-4 mark. They have been erratic, sometimes playing well, sometimes falling apart. This inconsistency was reflected in IH's 46-31 non-league loss to Princeton at home last Tuesday. IH jumped out to a 4-0 lead early in the first quarter on layups by Mike Cohen and Erich Metzger. The lead changed hands several times in the first half, but neither side could get in front by more than four. IH controlled the tempo, slowing down the pace and holding the Princeton press. Center Kevin Viox stole a pass and cruised for a layup with 1:3 1 left in the half to take a 16-14 lead. Princeton hit a jumper in the waning seconds to tie at 16. IH came unglued in the second half. In the third quarter, Princeton began to impose their will on the pace, and the tempo rapidly quickened. The Braves had trouble cracking the Princeton full-court press, and they threw away several passes that the Vikings cashed in for layups. Princeton went up by eight, 32-24, in the third quarter. In the fourth, the lead bulged to 37-24, then to 44-26 before the Braves were able to muster any offense of substance. They outscored the Vikings 5-2 in the final two minutes, but by then it was far too late. Coach Steve Thompson was not available for comment. Metzger led the in scoring with 7 points, while Cohen and Viox added 6. IH won its sole game this year in a big way, beating Sycamore, 32-30, at Sycamore. The Braves came from a 28-20 deficit in the third quarter and went on a 12-2 scoring blitz in the fourth to edge the Aviators. IH held the Aves to 2 points the entire fourth quarter. Said forward Bill Baumel, "The fourth quarter we were so psyched. They had a guy who could dunk, and we just kept blocking shot after shot. And the whole game our play was really controlled." Coach Thompson added, "We needed that win. The kids tied them [Sycamore], 15-15, in the first half, and the key to the game was knowing that they could play with Sycamore. That team of

CHIEFTAIN kids [at Sycamore] hadn't lost a league game since seventh grade, so it was a real booster." Metzger, who is the team's leading scorer with an 11.8 average, pumped in 14 points. Thompson said after the Braves' league-opening loss to Glen Este, 43-35, "We executed terribly the first half." Their inconsistency was evident this game, as the Braves were totally dominated the first quarter. The Trojans cruised to a 15-5 lead and never looked back. Glen Este took control of the game with a fast break, and the Braves could not battle back until the third quarter, but by then it was too late; Glen Este had taken to the lockers a 27-1 1halftime lead. In the third quarter IH began to click and made a game of it. Scott Seibert stole an inbounds pass for a layup. Seconds later, point guard Andy Tucker did the same thing. Metzger, who took team scoring honors with 12 points, hit a three-point play with 2:58 remaining to narrow the margin to 11. IH cut the final deficit to nine, 43-32, with four seconds left. The Braves were typically up and down in their first two games, both away. They lost a tough one to Turpin, 35-34, with Metzger pumping in 18 points. The Braves were trampled in the season opener by Anderson, 44-27. Anderson had an 8 point lead at halftime, 22-14, but went on a 16-4 spree in the third to break away for the win.

Squaws by Shelley Stanforth searching Squawsfor lost theirwins composure, and The varsity basketball Squaws have played six games and are still searching for a win. The Squaws showed a great deal of improvement over their first five games in their 35-32 loss to Milford last Tuesday. The score was tied after the first quarter, and the first half ended with Milford up by two. IH rallied to lead by four in the third period, but the score remained close throughout the fourth quarter. With less than two minutes remaining the score was 32-29 in favor of IH, but the

Erich Metzger makes his move in the freshman Braves' recent loss t o Glen Este.

BASKETBALL, from p. 10 choice was Davis, who dominated inside, scoring 17 points pulling 11 rebounds. The other star went to Senior point guard Todd Goldman, who contributed a steady defensive effort awhile registering four points, three rebounds, and one steal before fouling out. In addition, Arnold scored nine points and had three starts, and Lange and Morgan each grabbed seven rebounds. The Braves played their traditional opener against Mt. Healthy at home on Novermber 24. Mt. Healthy, the city's top ranked teamjebounded their way to 9 1-62 victory over a much smaller Braves' ' squad. The Braves appeared nervous early in the contest, resulting in numerous errors. It took no time for the Owls to establish their inside game as they jumped to a 6-0 lead before Davis scored the Braves first hoop of the year off a pretty pass from

Milford went on to win on foul shots. This near-victory came off a complete disaster at the hands of Sycamore, 50-16, on December 9. Against Greenhills, on December 7, the Squaws showed more improvement in a 53-28 loss. Freshmen Dee Dee Bucher and Cadi Cucinotta showed a remarkable amount of progress. Only a few games had done wonders for their confidence. The Squaws' first league game, against Deer Park on December 2, was expected to be a close contest, but it ended in a 34-point loss for IH, 61-27. However, IH's recent improvement is obvious in that Milford, to whom the Squaws lost by two, beat Deer Park by thirty. Three days earlier the Squaws fell 51-30 to a talented Wyoming squad. IH opened its season with a 58-15 loss to Forest Park, one of the top teams in the city. Forest Park is now 6-0 and defeated Oak Hills in a top state competition. Regarding the Squaws' relative youth and inexperience, coach Dick Pfirman remarked, "It's going as I had expected." However, P f m a n also expressed hope in the season's future. "I've seen improvement from game to game. They're picking up some of the fundamentals they'll need to win. Cadi Cucinotta is coming along well, and Amy Wiatt is starting t o ~ l a now." v

Arnold. The other starters, Kohls, Morgan, and Abrams soon followed Davis into the scoring column. The Owls, however, on the strength of 11 firstquarter points by 6 foot 4 inch center Ron Benford, found themselves on top 21-10 at the end of the first quarter. The start of the second quarter provided much of the same as Mt. Healthy extended its lead to 15 points. On the strength of two dazzling inside moves by Morgan, the Mt. Healthy lead was back down to 11, and the Braves then had a chance to pull within 9, but a missed jump shot put the ball in Mt. Helathy hands. The missed jumper proved an indication of things to come as the Owls outran the Braves the rest of the half and went into the locker room up, 43-26.

In the third quarter an inspired Indian Hill squad, led b y Ashing, played bucket for bucket with the top-ranked Owls. Ashing scored many of his 14 points in the third session, including two on a nifty right-hand hook from the baseline as he sailed towards an impressed group of Indian Hiu cheerleaders. The third quarter, though it ended 23-all, still left Mt. Healthy with an insurmountable lead, as the Owls cruised to a 25-23 fourth quarter finish. Though the game went in the losing column, it was a definite learning experience for the Braves. Star of the game awards were given to Ashing, with 1 4 points, four rebounds and three assists, and Morgan, with 15 points, seven rebounds, and one steal. In addition, Arnold dished out five assists and Abrarns collected five rebounds.

the woo&

eet and trap

by Wlvigbt PoMenbeqp Last week many Indian Hill juniors completed a field trip to the Indian Hill gun club. The mqjority of the students enjoyed the shooting but don't totalty understand the rules behind such shotgun games. First of all two such games exist: skeet and trap. Both games involve a shotgunner trying to hit clay pigeons, commonly called "birds". Why they are called "birds" I don't have the foggiest idea. Maybe someone once dressed one up with wings, legs, and a beak and tried to shoot it. Of the two games trap is the simpler one. Trap involves fwe linear stations from which the participant shoots. In front of these stations lies the house from which the clay pigeons fly. The clay pigeons fly one of three directions: left, right, or straight. There is no set pattern. It depends when the button is pushed to let the bird fly. Following the birds is the difficult part of trap shooting. The birds fly no set path so each shot requires quick reflexes. The shooter has no clue where the bird will go.

LENNON, from p. 3 was credited to both. This is why the song "Give Peace a Chance," which was actually recorded in a hotel room during a "bedh" in 1969, has McCartney's name on it, even though he had nothing to do with it. Both .artists' names being present on a release was not done to keep the actual writer a mystery, but to share the money equally between the two. For those who are interested, the lead vocalist is almost always the writer; the exceptions occur with the songs written by John and Paul, but sung by Ringo, "I Wannabe your Man.'' In conclusion, the article was poorly written and inadequately researched, for the future plans of Yoko and Sean were not even mentioned, nor is the recent release of "The John Lennon Collection" by Geffen Records, which contains remixes of some Plastic Ono Band songs. There is also some tape of new Lennon material that has yet to be released; no mention was made to it's future. The article was simply a cursory and inaccurate summary of Lemon's life.

provide games tor shooters Trap shooting consists of fwe shots from each of the five stations so twenty-fwe shots are taken in all. One point is awarded for each hit bird, so a score of twenty-fwe is a perfect score. The more popular of the shotgun games is skeet. In skeet the birds follow a set path from either of the two houses while the hunter changes position. There is a low house and a high house. From the high house the birds come out higher so the shooter must aim higher. Birds from the lower house fly closer to the ground. The two houses face each other, but each one throws birds to the side of the other house. In skeet there are eight stations. Seven of them lie in a semicircle with a house on each end: The last station lies between the two last houses. From each station a shooter

takes the f i shot out of the high houre and the second shot out of

the k w house. On the f i , second, sixth, and seventh stations, those closest to the houses, a participant shoots a double. A double is when two birds are released at the same time and the shooter hits both. It is not easy. Like trap a total of twentyfwe shots are fired and a point scored for each hit bird. The last two shots are fued from the station between houses. Of the two games skeet is tougher, because some shots need to be lead and followed with the gun more than others. At each station there is an approximation what to use as a lead. Indian Hill has both skeet and trap available at the Indian Hill gunclub. The club is a non-profit organization, but membership is required. If you would like to join please contact me.

WV, from p. 12 back to Camp Muir before the snow became slippery. At one point during the trip the teams had to cross a snowfield infamous for avalanches. The group then made the long trip to Yellowstone Pa&, the last maor hike in the expedition. At rust the group saw all the famous sights, but these were a disappointment, because, as Gay said later, "There were too many tourists, which ruined it." Then the group went into the unpopulated backcountry of Yellowstone, which was completely different and more interesting because of the lack of tourists. The last stop before going home was made at Jackson HoIe, the WV headquarters, where a big banquet was given to the returning groups. Besides having a good time, Gay feels that she got something out of the expedition. "You learn how to function in agroup. You have to work for the group and not for yourself. You also learn about feology, ecology, and the environment in general." Gay added, "I didn't know these places existed, and I didn't expect them to be so pretty." When asked if she would recommend the WV program to others, Gay responded strongly in the affmative. "Most people wouldn't think of doing anything like this. It's just a great exper-

ience." Greg went on the shorter, but just as vigorous, July Rocky Mont Mountain Expedition for the entire month of July, 1981. Unlike Gay, Greg had had some previous backpacking experience but he still found the trip to be a challenge. Greg first travelled to Jackson Hole, where he met the others in his group and received his supplies and instruction in their use. There were twenty-two participants and four counselors in his group. The expedition was divided into three main trips with short sto@ at places in between. The first major hike was in the Yellowstone Park backcountry. Like Gay, Greg was unimpressed by Old Faithful. "Lone Star Geyser (in the backcountry) was much better because it was secluded. It was on an old horse

trait." After six days in Yellowstone, Greg's group made a three or four day ride to Spanish Peaks National Forest in Montana. In the six days there, the group encountered more wildlife and did more rockclimbing. Greg had the strange experience of being caught in a thunderstorm while on top of mountain, within the thunderclouds. Apart from the tremendous amount of noise, Greg was amazed by the fact that "the weather shifted a lot faster than it

aoes here." The thunderstorm had come upon the froup where there had been sunny skies only about fifteen minutes earlier. For the next trip the group came back together (they had been in groups of six or seven during the fust parts of the expedition) for whitewater rafting down the Colorado River. They also did some rockclimbing alo?g the route. On this trip the participants could take "luxuries", like cans of pop, but they still always pitched tent in the wilderness. From the Colorado, Greg rode t o . Salt Lake City for the flight home. About the return home, Greg remarked, "It was strange coming back here after being at high altitudes." Greg got involved in the WV program because he was "just looking for something t o do that summer. It just caught my attention." When asked how he liked the expedition, Greg responded similarly to Gay: "It was great." Greg also felt he got some thing lasting form the program. "I made a whole bunch of new friends. It was the first time I had gone west; I learned a lot about different teoitories?' Greg had mixed feelings about recommending WV to others. "It wouldn't be for everybody. We had tough times. You always had to do your share for the group."

The high school Distributive Education Club is sponsoring its tenth annual Little World store at the Camargo Station during December. The project, which is operated by DECA students and their sponsor, Mr. James Benken, opened December 4 and will run through today. The store's hours are 3-8 p.m. on weekdays and 125p.m. on weekends. Little World is designed to give young shoppers a store where they are able to buy gifts for their parents. The price range runs from $.50 to $5.00. However, Benken states that 85% of the items are priced between $1.50 and $3.00. The gifts which the DECA students will be selling have either been denoted or purchased by DECA. Benken added that the items bought were on consignment, so DECA will be able to return any unused gifts. Besides its design for the youngsters, Little World also gives DECA students a place for on-thejob experience in the merchandising market. By working at L

by Ron Zesch Gus Gordon, Todd Cox, Cathy Fields, and David Kilday were chosen for the leading roles in

Little World the students have a chance to put into practice what they have learned in class. All juniors involved with DECA must work twelve and onehalf or more total hours at Little World. Their effort, states Benken, will be graded and will comprise twenty-five percent of their second quarter grade. Senior DECA students, because of their co-op programs, are encouraged to help only when possible. The responsiblities of the students involve not only working with money and merchandise but also with techniques of customer assistance. The young shopper, upon entering Little World, is helped by a student who determines the child's budget and then aids the shopper in choosing an appropriate gift. Other students then ring up the sale and gift wrap the item for the shopper. "Little World is good because children can get their Christmas shopping done," commented Junior DECA student Cliff Wingerter. Benken estimates the total gross sales to be between $2500 and $3000 over the two week per-

nonly last year would have an effect on us. However. this year I don't think it will matter." The store location at Canlargo Station was donated to D1:CA by Mike Harris, proprietor of the Camargo Station. Along with the donation of space Harris also takes care of a l l utilities used. The 1000 square foot store also includes a waiting room for parents.

The play, which won and produced five top awards, and an all star cast award for Stacey Labahn, was "Waiting for the Bus". Todd Cox and Jenny Kegg also contributed to the superior play with their acting.

Each school's play was to Ife performed in under thirty-fwe minutes and to Indian Hill's advantage, their play fell short of the mark by thirty seconds. In April the same four actors are t o perform the same play in representation of Indian Hill's drama club at the state contests which are held in Columbus. "We hope to do as well at state. It was a real group effort with the technical and stage crews,'' commented award winner John Lilly.
